Artist: Matisyahu
Song: Dispatch the Troops
Album: Youth
Capo 3
Intro: Am F C Em x4
Am F
See the daughter of Zion once precious princess
C Em
Left her father's house to walk streets that never rest
Am F
Maybe they’ll hear me in the metropolis
C Em
So I’m sending an SOS
Am F
Fighting with her “ta” she wants out of this mess
C Em
And them big city lights might brighten up the darkness
Am F
You know that I’m tired and you know that I’m stressed
C Em
You can’t stop me and you can’t stop this
Am F
You could call the police try to make an arrest
C Em
Today is the day that I repossess
Am F
Leaving on the first bus that I can get
C Em
Now its rings around eyes sopping wet from rain droplets
Am F
Window shopping for some solace no address and penniless
C Em
That’s the price you pay for running away from the stress
Am F
Feeling the pain likes to dance by the DJ
C G
Reminds me of a time when things were ok
Chorus:
Dm F Dm
Frightened by her own shadow
F Dm G
Now she wants to go home
C G Dm F G
Many names for one G-d
Am G Dm F
Trotting on, through the façade
C G
You were all my children
Dm F G
Got to dig for that feeling
Am G Dm F
Love will break down this concealment
Am F
Strip away the serpent’s skin We came to win
C Em
Dispatch the troops send out the captain
Am G
My gem is held captive in the dungeon
C Em
Don’t come back again till you end the mission
Am F
If it takes a long time don’t lose the vision
C Em
If you’re stuck check the blueprint, look within
Am F
Reflection, got to find the rhythm
C Em
Won’t you please return child Where you been
Am F
She says I can’t come home because he won’t let me in
C Em
And besides we don’t need no more friction
Am
Used to look so nice, how’d you get so thin?
F
And your heart's like ice, it’s a heart of sin
C
Skin white like a ghost with a pale complexion
Em
Pray to g-d for the dead we need resurrection
Am F
Don’t you know wherever we go thick and thin
C Em
You are still my children
Am F C G
Since you’ve been gone my soul’s been hurting
Chorus
Bridge: Am F C Em
Chorus
Dm F Dm
Wondering through this world
F Em G
We are just boys and girls
C G Dm F G
Many names for one G-d
Am G Dm F
Trotting on, through the façade
C G
You were all my children
Dm F G
Got to dig for that feeling
